[funcrew]

Nice lens. Do you have to give it back?

[bergie_318is]

lucky bastard. i cant wait to get my sigma equivelent!

[James Crivellone]

Very nice, i was REALLY temped to go with a 70 - 200 2.8 but decided to get a 100 - 400 4 instead, although maybe one day I'll run with both!

[Jean]

Couple more.

[sumyungguy]

Nice, I love mine..



real LTW btw...


The IS version is overrated, plus you can get these used for under a G.

Damn you guys. thats it, im saving up for a decent camera/lense!

I love my 70-200 f/4L and want to add the 2.8 to the bag. I shoot mostly during the day so no need yet. Did my first night drifting event and could have used it...

[cbouchez]

Very nice man! I have a f4.0 not as fast as yours but I love it!

No EXIF data, what's the aperture and shutter speed?

Still virtually impossible to use unless it's incredibly well lit, granted you can use it later in the evening than our f/4.0's though. I want to try a 135mm f/2.0 to see how it works in that situation!

Shooting horses early morning with the dew and fog is also nearly impossible with a f/4.0. I've struggled at the horse shows i've shot.

The IS on my 300mm is nice but I completely forgot to switch the motors to pan mode at Petit so the shots weren't quite as sharp as they were last year. :sad:


EDIT
nm, my EXIF viewer isn't compatible with the new version of Firefox...arghh!

Adding to my list...

I have the non-IS and have found that even f2/8 isn't fast enough to stop motion blur when you're working with a 320mm equivalent. I wish mine had IS.

But still, it's a fantastic lens! I love mine to death. Sometimes I think about selling it because it doesn't get used that often, but then I that when I need it, I really need it.

200mm is 200mm whether you have a full frame or not, don't believe the 1.6x BS manufactures feed you with. I'll be more than happy to elaborate.

Not saying I don't love my IS but you can always bump the ISO up then a faster shutter.

did anyone else think this this thread was going to be about a 2.8l engine going from 70-200 mph? im so disappointed...
